Both of the boys were blessed with presents - here Alex is reading a book and Zach is playing with the cool bag he got. (There were gifts in the bag - but you know how it goes....)
Alex with his new "Mater" book.
The aftermath. (And my little Z standing up!!)
Grandpa Bowin setting up the new set of bowling pins for the 47, 322, 197th time. 
The crowd watches as Alex perfects his bowling technique.
And now....on to the food! We had BBQ pulled pork roast, homemade mac 'n cheese, fruit and veggies, and chips. I think that everyone was stuffed. After awhile, we decided to break out the cake....
And Zach's "smash" cake...
Alex blowing out the candles...
Alex and Zach as we all sang to them. (Zach was undressed in anticipation of frosting.) :)
Zach and his birthday cupcake....
And Alex digging in to his soccer ball slice of cake.
After the cake and baths, the boys continued playing with all of their new toys. We found a new use for Zach's toy - and he actually enjoyed it!!!
It was funny because when we tried to pull him out, he'd get upset and try to climb back in. Silly guy!!It was also Halloween, so after supper we got the boys into their costumes - - here's the shot of them all decked out!
Zach was a bee, Alex was a motorcycle racer.And, now, we have a video for you. We played on the Wii while everyone was here, and Grandpa Bowin wanted to try the soccer ball game. (We posted a video of Alex playing this a while ago). Daryl didn't know we were video taping him - but when we watched it later, it was quite amusing! Also note that Alex is in the lower left-hand corner trying to move in the direction that Grandpa's supposed to go. Silly guy!
We'll have another birthday party in a couple of weeks with the Frank side of the family. For now, we're back to the workweek, playing with our new toys, and trying to catch up on sleep and energy from a very tiring weekend! We had a blast, and were thankful that everyone was able to make it out!
